TheGoodJoe:
The blame starts from the head. You can apportion blames but do not try to exonerate the incompetent DG.

Bahdsypha:


What evidence sef?
The one from unverified sources like the one you posted
they acted based on the findings of Chinese scientists not conspiracy theorists
At that time, the covid-19 was only prevalent in one region of the China..

if it works like that then ebola should have been declared a pandemic because it has a more higher mortality rate sef

9jaRealist:


And when they start petitioning for the removal of the entire executive, we will take them seriously...
The proverbial rot may begin from the head but if the entire fish is rotten, chopping off the head is cosmetic BS!

Btw, when will the same “blame starts from the head” be applied to Trump? November perhaps?!

TheGoodJoe:


I would have done ten times better.

This was my comment January, 30, 2020.

While this your DG was preaching self-isolation after that and advising countries to take his self-isolation recipe for disaster as their prevention protocol.

This DG is dumb, with all the information at his disposal, he made a series of repeated errors.

Reference:
Totally agree. I have been berating him since early February when the virus spread to HongKong. He didn't declare a pandemic until it breached the continent and appeared in Iran then Italy shortly after.

Most of Asia including Taiwan, Vietnam and Singapore were affected but because those countries were in the sphere if influence of China he kept quiet. He is a politician, period and should have been removed since.

Just happy about the news coming out of AstraZenica this morning. The vaccine manufacture/testing is going on simultaneously and will most likely be available before the end of the year and will be offered at cost. So it is the duty of every person to survive the next six months by proper protective practices.

TheGoodJoe:


Did we have Ebola breaking out in 38 countries? Was Ebola even spreading rapidly in States in Nigeria, let alone the World.

No excuse for this man. The angels smell his incompetency in heaven.

Covid-19 was killing and spreading fast all over the World. Repeated calls from lots of people but he did not act for reasons best known to him.

Bahdsypha:


it's like you think the WHO is like a country and the "dg" is like a military dictator.

As the dg of an international organisation with member states(us inclusive) you can't act on unverified sources
You act based on the information from analysts, doctors and scientists..
You can't just wake up one day and declare a global pandemic because you feel so

Bahdsypha:


There are incompetent leaders in this world, the Nigerian president is one of them but Dr. tederos Ghebreyesus is not incompetent.

You also have the mentality of an average Nigerian, how would you declare him incompetent without knowing why he acted the way he did

he did what he had to do at the right time l..he declared this a pandemic when they were 0 deaths outside mainland China so how is it his fault that trump and some other world leaders mismanaged the situation in their country

Bahdsypha:


0 deaths outside mainland China

TheGoodJoe:
That is up to you but it does not absolve this man off the harm he caused the World.

infini771:
No they are pro-China

SeverusSnape:
Being a leader is not easy i swear.

Who would have thought this pandemic would snowball into this catastrophic extent?

9jaRealist:


The man did no harm to the world...
WHO warned the ENTIRE WORLD of Covid last December.

At that time, there was ZERO recorded case and ZERO deaths outside of China...
Several countries (S.Korea, Singapore, etc.) took aggressive steps while the likes of Trump and Boris pooh-poohed it.

WHO acts on the best-available scientific information...
Others believe that if we just inject folks with bleach and disinfectant, we will rid the world of Covid-19! SMH

Urchman200:
u and I knows that it was already a pandemic before Dr TEDEROS declared it's to the world, I think that is where the problem started from? Thier is something fishy about his relationship with China, let try to understand that, China is toying with rest of the world, an organisation trusted by the whole world is hobnobbing with a country that the world is seeing to be complicit in this whole saga. I think those calling for his sack is right, I joined by calling for his prosecution,this has really caused the universe a lot,humanity is on trial seriously.

awesomely:


Kindly read again and highlight where I said the guy should continue.

His resignation is none of my concern, yes he has failed, and I personally don't think he should occupy that position because he is a misfit.

All I demand for, is finding solution such as vaccine which should be the priority.

I think the mentality you mentioned actually centers around your level of comprehension.

TOPCRUISE:
Typical post of a wailer. Why calling for his head as if na him spread the virus. We are good at looking for who to blame in any unfortunate occurrence

Bahdsypha:


How are they pro-china?
because the man that said we should drink disinfectants said so

9jaRealist:


And here comes the Right-Wing racist bigotry...smh
We don’t need secret emails and messages, when the WHO issued a PUBLIC ALERT in December 2019!

TheGoodJoe:
Stop making this thing about Trump. This is about the incompetence of the DG. As you are stating, other countries took aggressive steps, ignoring the downplay of the DG. Yet you are trying to exonerate his incompetence.

Urchman200:
so the incompetent man should be allowed to continue with his position? The mentality an average Nigerian man.

9jaRealist:


The sophistry of semantics...
‘Pandemic’ is a specific term and WHO declared a pandemic when available data necessitated it.

Meanwhile, WHO issued a PUBLIC ALERT of Covid-19 in December LAST YEAR...
Several nations immediately took action (S.Korea, Singapore, etc.), while the Petition-Hawkers and Blame-Birds snoozed.

studentofTruth:
That product of quota system politics failed himself, his country, Africa, and the whole world. Never again should a quota system product head an organization as important as the WHO.

Kenobzee:
so will sacking him end the pandemic?

Elove1:
The man is incompetent like one here, who values cows than humans.

That Kano promises are strictly meant for cows

'I will never let you down my cows'

bakescos01:
Yeah , he is a total failure. I guess this are part of the reasons the Westerners don’t like putting an African man to head a World agency . They can be easily bought.

studentofTruth:
To poor-minded Africans, everything is about racism. Even with over 200,000 avoidable deaths, you still think racism — God help your case!

No matter how you look at it, the WHO failed, and they're being led by someone. If WHO had advised compulsorily enforced quarantine (not their newly invented sexy words that're never in epidemiology lexicon, "self-quarantine and self-isolate) for anybody with travel history to China and other places with the disease, the world wouldn't be where it is today!

That quota system product failed himself, his country, Africa, and the world!

membranus:


Give us proofs of all your allegations above against the man, or else there are just puffs of air.

Don't join the multitude to oppress a helpless man.

Urchman200:
so to you ,Americans and the rest of the world are petition HAWKERS ? Trump has been very active ever since the whole problems started.

Bahdsypha:


You know when the virus was still limited to China, they were reports from Chinese scientists that corona virus could not be transmissible between humans
W.H.O acted based on the made available to them by the Chinese government...they couldn't have managed the situation any better

W.H.O also declared this a pandemic when they were less than 100 cases and 0 deaths outside mainland China, they warned countries of its dangers then...so what are you saying?
Trump is just looking for who to take the blame for his incompetence....he has blamed democrats, the "fake news" as he calls them, W.H.O, he might even blame Nigeria soon..lol

Trailblazer1:
Corona Virus is like an acid test for top office holders.


It cuts you up and shows the whole world your true content.

It has shown that Sanwo Olu could eventually be more useful than a pontus Pilate.

It has shown that everything is politics for Ganduje.

It has shown that Buhari is irredeemably useless.

It has shown that WHO doesn't have the idea or expertise to produce a vaccine as we previously believed but only active in the media
